Property description

Three bedroom detached cottage with spectacular views. Benefits include double glazing, detached garage and gardens.

Longtown is an historic village community situated almost astride the Herefordshire/Monmouthshire border. The village boasts a shop and Post office as well as a highly regarded primary school. The castle enriches the historical interest within the local area with Offa's Dyke being part of the Black Mountains range and with the long distance foot path running along the ridge line. The larger village of Ewyas Harold with further facilities is approximately four miles away whilst the ancient market town of Abergavenny is eleven miles distance  with the Cathedral city of Hereford being approximately twenty miles distance.

Pontynys Cottage itself is a particularly attractive detached property occupying a picturesque location enjoying spectacular views towards The Black Mountains themselves, Skirrid Fawr and of course The Cats Back.   A typical Herefordshire cottage built in local stone under a slate roof and probably dates back to the early 19th century but over the years it has been altered and improved whilst still retaining much of its original charm and character.   It enjoys both double glazing and an oil fired central heating system whilst in the living room this is augmented by a wood burning stove.   The decorative order is considered to be of a particularly high standard and mention should also be made of the bathroom which is particularly attractive.

As well as its many internal features and spectacular views the garden itself is also particularly attractive containing a wealth of mature shrubs and trees.  

This is a truly delightful property both inside and out and potential purchasers should ensure that they carry out a personal inspection in order to appreciate its many attributes.
